Julian the Apostate

CA$875.00
Only 1 available

The famous last pagan emperor who rejected Christianity and promoted his cult of the Sol Invictus, along with that of the Great Mother. This cult of the Sun had been established by Aurelian, and Franz Cumont proposed that Julian had also major eastern influences from Persia, paradoxically, it was his war with Persia that brought him to his end. 

This is a reconstruction of pagan worship inspired by Fritz Saxl’s “Pagan Sacrifice in the Italian Renaissance” (1939) and the living practice of puja in Hinduism. It is reworked from Achille Bocchi’s Symbolicarum Quaestionum of 1574, in which symbol LIIII depicts a sacrifice to Asclepius. Helios holds Apollo’s bow, which is given his same size, echoing depictions of Rama.
